Is There a Universal Algorithm?

The key capacity of a human being is solving problems we do not yet have an algorithm for. A universal algorithm would not be one that was a super set of all currently existing known tasks, but rather something much shorter. In other words, a creativity algrithm. What it would do would be unpredictable. And that's what we are we will come to that kind of universality towards the end of this chapter. We haven't yet figured out how to conjure language in such a way as to describe subjective states. That's simply a failure of our imagination.
